Which would be the better choice

Post by pitch black »

arrow weighing 410 gr or one weighing 465 gr ? to get to 410gr i just need to go to 125gr b head , that i dont have, shoot 100gr rage. to get to 465gr i need brass inserts, and use the 100gr rage bh that i already have, thanks

I had the same choice to make . . .I ended up going to the 125 gr broadhead because I couldn't remove the inserts from my Gorilla Glued arrows. :P Turned out very good, my current set-up is awesome.
I'd rather wear out than rust out.

Curious as to what weight CB you're shooting. Maybe you could just stay with the 100 gr. heads giving you a 385 grain arrow? Maybe make your decision based on % FOC you'd get from each setup?


Take care...

I have a Ibex shoot what ever you like best. I have shot the day lights out of mine with just about every kind of arrow and broad head. In side of 40yds unless it get 500gr+ POI does not change much at all. These excals just shoot It wouldnt surprise me if some one came on here and said they were shooting a peace water line LOL

If they are accurate now and you like the set-up, then I would not change. If you are having penetration issues(like not getting a pass through) or accuracy issues with the broadhead you are shooting(not shooting like field tips), then adding weight may help.
